The UFC’s fax machine was busy on Thursday, and the fight-booking barrage continued well past normal business hours.

Among the evening additions were six contests for the company’s return Down Under at UFC on FX 2, including a previously unreported rematch between featherweights Robbie Peralta (15-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Mackens Semerzier (6-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC).

UFC on FX 2, which marks the UFC’s return to Australia, takes place March 3 at Allphones Arena in Sydney and airs live in the U.S. on March 2 due to the time difference.

The event’s main card airs live on FX while preliminary-card fights head to FUEL TV.

Peralta and Semerzier, of course, first met at November’s UFC on FOX event. Peralta was initially awarded a TKO victory when his head struck
Semerzier in the temple. The clash was tough to see in live action, and
it wasn’t until well after the bout that match referee “Big” John
McCarthy was told what had actually happened.

If the foul had been caught, the bout likely would have gone to judges’
scorecards since bouts that end as the result of a foul are judged based
on the preceding rounds. Instead, it was ruled a TKO win for Peralta but later overturned by the California State Athletic Commission to a no contest.

After losing his first three UFC fights (during two different stints with the promotion), Perosh now looks for his third consecutive victory. After returning to light heavyweight from heavyweight, the Australian-born fighter submitted Tom Blackledge at UFC 127 and then submitted Cyrille Diabate at UFC 138. The eighth-year pro is now 3-1 over his past four fights and 6-2 since late 2008.

Penner, a Canadian fighter, joins the UFC on the strength of an eight-fight win streak, which included a recent unanimous-decision victory over previously unbeaten Tim Chemelli (8-1). A veteran of the Canadian fight circuit, he’s earned nine stoppage wins in 11 career victories.

Noke returns to action for the first time since a painful inverted heel-hook loss to Ed Herman at this past August’s UFC on Versus 5 event. The result snapped a five-fight win streak for Noke, a native of New South Wales.

A contestant on “The Ultimate Fighter 11,” Noke had been 3-0 in official UFC bouts before the loss.

Meanwhile, Hamman fought most recently at December’s UFC 140 event, where he was steamrolled by an impressive Constantinos Philippou. Hamman has fought five times under the UFC banner, including two fights at middleweight, and while he’s notched a pair of “Fight of the Night” bonuses, he’s had trouble managing any consistency, alternating wins and losses since his November 2009 debut.

Miller returns to the cage at 145 pounds following a second-round submission win over lightweight T.J. O’Brien at UFC on Versus 5, which muted a decision loss to Matt Wiman at “UFC Fight Night 23: UFC Fight for the Troops 2.”

The American Top Team fighter was 7-3 as a lightweight following his turn on “The Ultimate Fighter 5″ with four performance bonuses, three for “Submission of the Night” and one for “Knockout of the Night.”

Siler recently emerged from a stint on “The Ultimate Fighter 14″ with a decision win over Josh Clopton on the reality show’s live finale.

Prior to his appearance on “TUF,” Silver, who trains out of Victory MMA, was submitted by UFC vet Cole Escovedo in regional competition. The setback snapped a four-fight win streak that followed a 44-second knockout loss to now-UFC contender Chad Mendes.

Jordan, a former fullback at Louisiana State University, arrives in the UFC with a recent submission victory over Lavar Johnson at Strikeforce Challengers 19. The majority of his fights have ended by way of TKO or KO (with eight of them in his favor).

A Bellator veteran, Jordan trains out of Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA in Albuquerque, N.M.

Thompson in July signed with the UFC to face Phil De Fries at UFC 138, but an injury forced him to withdraw from the bout.

A former strongman champion in his native England, Thompson trains with ZT Fight School and brings a four-fight win streak into the octagon. However, his two professional losses come against UFC veterans Rob Broughton and Joe Vedepo.

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
